This is coming from someone who has never used the method NVs so I can't speak on performance, just wanted to put that out there, that being said here we go

I am kind of surprised as many people like the after market rims as they do. I guess I love the beadlocks because I am see them all the time on our tactical vehicles, they look very heavy duty and business oriented, vs the aftermarkets which remind me of all the other trucks around here that jack their trucks up and put new rims on and they NEVER see a spot or dirt or mud, they just seem very showy to me.

Oh yes, very easy to change no doubt, and my wife loves them too, though she loves the rims on her Jeep Patriot, so I am not sure I trust her judgement

I just don't care for them, too showy, what I like about the Raptor is that it is built for business, it is MEANT to go off road, not like a lot of trucks that just swap out the rims and tires to try and look cool. The beadlocks just mean business to me.

Buddy of mine called my Raptor an "Urban Assault Vehicle", said it looked like it should be painted in desert or olive drab, made me laugh but I loved it.

I think I would spend my money on Light bars, a winch, something that I feel I would get a lot of return out of.

And the beadlocks are free! Well, on the special edition which is what I have.

I admit part of it is that I am cheap and couldn't convince myself to spend money on something that already works great. I have too many expensive hobbies, I need to get a scope on my new .308 remmy 700 tactical, and that will run me $1500 easy
